# Checkout V2
This action checks-out your repository under `$GITHUB_WORKSPACE`, so your workflow can access it.
Only a single commit is fetched by default, for the ref/SHA that triggered the workflow. Set `fetch-depth: 0` to fetch all history for all branches and tags. Refer [here](https://help.github.com/en/articles/events-that-trigger-workflows) to learn which commit `$GITHUB_SHA` points to for different events.

The auth token is persisted in the local git config. This enables your scripts to run authenticated git commands. The token is removed during post-job cleanup. Set `persist-credentials: false` to opt-out.
When Git 2.18 or higher is not in your PATH, falls back to the REST API to download the files.

- Improved layout
2019-12-12 18:49:26 +00:00
- The input `path` is always relative to $GITHUB_WORKSPACE
- Aligns better with container actions, where $GITHUB_WORKSPACE gets mapped in
- Fallback to REST API download
- When Git 2.18 or higher is not in the PATH, the REST API will be used to download the files

# Usage
<!-- start usage -->
```yaml

## Fetch all history for all tags and branches
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
fetch-depth: 0
```
2019-12-13 21:39:47 +00:00
## Checkout a different branch
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
2019-12-13 21:39:47 +00:00
ref: my-branch
```
2019-12-13 21:39:47 +00:00
## Checkout HEAD^
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
2019-12-13 21:39:47 +00:00
fetch-depth: 2
- run: git checkout HEAD^
```
## Checkout multiple repos (side by side)
```yaml
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
path: main
- name: Checkout tools repo
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
repository: my-org/my-tools
path: my-tools
```
## Checkout multiple repos (nested)
```yaml
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Checkout tools repo
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
repository: my-org/my-tools
path: my-tools
```
## Checkout multiple repos (private)
```yaml
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
path: main
- name: Checkout private tools
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
repository: my-org/my-private-tools
token: ${{ secrets.GitHub_PAT }} # `GitHub_PAT` is a secret that contains your PAT
2019-12-13 21:39:47 +00:00
path: my-tools
```
2019-12-13 21:39:47 +00:00
> - `${{ github.token }}` is scoped to the current repository, so if you want to checkout a different repository that is private you will need to provide your own [PAT](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line).
